Alice Walker's most famous work, THE COLOR PURPLE (1982), takes the form, unusual in modern-day Western literature, of an epistolary novel. The story is told in letters, many of them addressed to God by the novel's protagonist, Celie, a young black girl in rural Georgia. zav | Student, Undergraduate | eNotes Newbie.
What happens after a supernova? A: Depending on the size of the star before it explodes as a supernova, the core of the star either shrinks back into a tiny neutron star or becomes a black hole. If the star is only a few times bigger than the sun, the core becomes a tiny neutron star.
Supernovae are extremely rare â occurring only once every fifty years within a galaxy the size of our own Milky Way. Notice the Expanding Sphere of Matter Around this Supernova. They can only happen when an aging massive star can no longer generate energy from nuclear fusion and undergoes a rapid gravitational collapse.
